Chapter 4: Memory Lane
As Felicia smiled at him happy that Felix agreed to help her, his mind took him back to the first time he met this Speed Princess. Felix had just got done with another game and watched Ralph clean himself up from the mud. Now Felix wished he said good job to Ralph or something but the guy was nine feet tall and did have a temper. Talking to Ralph could probably get him squashed so he did something he never did before. Go to Game Central Station had look around the other games. Usually Felix stayed home and ate pie but today he was feeling adventurous so he decided to leave his game and go to another. Stepping out he looked around all the other characters walking around talking or going to Tapper's for a drink. His tiny footsteps echoed down the hall way as he came to a game in bold letters that said R.U.S.H. "Wonder what game this is?" Felix asked as he headed into the game. He saw black pavement and trash littered everywhere with odd writing on the walls. Girls wearing hardly any clothes walked by him smiling mischievously.
"Hey cutie," they said winking at him making him blush a deep red. He just shyly looked away and walked down the pavement when he saw a weird light headed towards him.
"Hey get off of the road!" shouted a voice. But Felix was stunned and just shielded his eyes as he heard a screech noise and smelled some weird kind of smoke. He opened his eyes to see that he wasn't dead and then his eyes saw a black motorcycle lying to the right where he stood scratched up. A girl his age was lying on the street groaning.
"Oh my goodness ma'am are you alright?" he asked rushing to her. He wasn't strong but he managed to get the bike to stand upright. Then his eyes locked on the girl and she had long raven black hair with purple streaks on the side but her bangs were a hot pink. Her skin was a mocha color and her eyes were olive green. Now her outfit was a black vest that was low cut and tight jeans with boots. "Ma'am are you alright?" he asked again noticing her helmet was still attached so at least she was smart enough to wear one.
"Oww," she groaned.
"Don't worry I can fix it," Felix said quickly as he took out his hammer. Her leg was badly hurt and bleeding but with a light tap it was good as new. Bruises were forming on her arms and face but with his hammer they too healed. Turning his attention to the bike he tapped it and it was fixed like magic.
"Hey how did you do that and what in the hell were you doing in the middle of the damn road? Are you insane or just plain stupid if I didn't try to stop I could have flattened you like road kill!" the girl snapped as she got to her feet glaring angrily at Felix. She was about five feet maybe five nine he really couldn't tell except that she was taller than him. He came to about her waist and he was blushing from her colorful language.
"Sorry to have caused you harm ma'am. My name is Fix-It Felix Jr. from the Fix-It Felix Game. I was in your game because I just thought I would do some exploring I didn't mean to cause such a mess," he said taking off his hat. He was beet red and frowning nervously at the taller woman. She frowned and let out a sigh.
"Well I guess I shouldn't be too hard after all you probably didn't know you don't walk in the street in this game. And you did fix me up as well as my bike. But how did you do it so quickly Shorty?" she asked her voice gentler than before.
"Oh I have a magic hammer ma'am it can fix anything," he said proudly.
"Okay um Felix is it first off my name is not ma'am it is Fast Felicia. Either call me that or just Felicia will be fine," she told him firmly.
"Yes, ma'-I mean Felicia," he said smiling at her. She was about to get on her bike and Felix was wondering if he got the bike fixed completely. "Mind if I ride with you Felicia I want to make sure my hammer got everything fixed," he said cautiously.
She stared at him wondering if he was trustworthy and seeing how he looked her in the eyes and his eyes did not wander anywhere else made her believe he was okay. "Alright but hold on tight they don't call me Fast Felicia for nothing," she said grinning wickedly. Felix hopped on and they zoomed down the street as the wind rushed through Felicia's hair and Felix was holding on for dear life blushing a deep red for having to hold onto her waist. Felicia laughed at the small man for she knew he was okay. They stopped and he got off his legs feeling like rubber.
"Everything seems to be in order ma'- I mean Felicia," he said grinning at her.
"Cool thanks again Shorty you are alright. Come by my game anytime and we can hang or something," she said.
"I would like that," he said nervously and she winked at him and sped off down the street. Felix didn't know it then but that was the day a beautiful friendship was formed.
"What were you thinking about?" Felicia asked breaking Felix out of his thoughts.
"The first day I came here and met you," he replied.
"Yeah I got bruised up bad but I didn't hit you and in return you fixed me and my bike," she said smiling.
"Fixing things is what I do best ma'am," he said proudly. She laughed but soon they good time was interrupting by a menacing figure.
"Well, well look who we have here? Miss Felicia and her tiny midget mechanic," growled a deep voice. Standing by their booth was a muscular man with huge muscles. Not as big as Ralph's but good size for this six foot man who maybe was six foot nine. He was way taller than Felicia with dark peach skin that had scars along his arms and neck. No hair but he had deep green eyes and on his left shoulder was a tattoo of a white skull. His clothes were a ripped white t-shirt with blue jeans, and brown boots.
"Hello Skull what do you want? This is a private party and you were not invited," Felicia said coldly.
"Just thought I give you one last chance to just give me this bar and I won't have to harm your sexy little body. Heck maybe if you give me the bar I can reward you by giving you some real power between your legs," he smirked his eyes full of lust.
"That is no way to talk to a lady!" Felix snapped standing up.
"Hey pipsqueak didn't think I would see you around here again. This isn't your game," Skull growled at Felix.
"Felicia invited me," Felix said crossing his arms not backing down from the giant in front of him.
"You should stay out of here pipsqueak this game is extremely dangerous and people like you can easily get hurt," Skull said in a dangerously soft tone.
"If my memory serves me correctly I can handle myself and I am not scared of you," Felix hissed. Now most people in this game was afraid of Skull except for Felicia and even though Felix was a small guy he wouldn't be able to call himself a man if he let men like Skull hurt innocent people.
"This is between you and me Skull and there is no way I am backing out. I beat you last time and I will beat you again," Felicia said getting up in Skull's face.
"Fine Felicia have it your way but just remember accidents happen and if someone gets hurt don't be blaming me. See you on the track," Skull said grinning like the devil outside. Then with an evil chuckle he left the bar. Felix sat back down remembering how much of a bully Skull was.
"I really hate that guy," Felicia hissed. "Thanks for having my back," she added.
"No problem Skull is just a cad I am not scared of him," Felix told her.
"Yeah but now I am pissed I mean mad. I need to blow off some steam," she said. Getting up she went to the record machine where you put a quarter in and you can play a song. Flipping through the songs she found one she liked. Placing the coin in the machine began to play "I Love Rock-N-Roll". The music flowed through the bar as Felicia jumped on the bar moving her hips. Felix watched as the men whistled at her while she sang the lyrics. Then her eyes locked on Felix as she raised a hand out to him. "Take the time and dance with me," she sang looking at him.
Now Felix was nervous for he only danced with Tamora and he didn't know if this would be the wrong thing to do. Then again Tamora usually danced with her male friends and he was okay with it but she never danced with them on a bar. Still it was just a dance and Felicia wouldn't make him touch her waist or anything so he took her hand and began to dance with her. He moved his hips as Felicia spun him around. The crowd was whistling and cheering them on and Felix began to smile as he danced with Felicia. Unbeknown to Felix or Felicia a pair of cold green eyes was watching them. "That is right Felicia you and your pipsqueak mechanic enjoy your little celebration. For soon I will be the next Top Dog of the Streets and I will squash you both like the fleas you are," Skull said firmly as he disappeared to hatch his next plan to destroy Felicia and Felix.
